You can install a lot of software from Debian repos or elsewhere, with systemd dependencies present, but not using systemd as init. Best of both worlds.

Beautifully themed, lightweight xfce desktop.

Lots of MX specific tools that make it a joy to use. Mx tools are everything most users would need all in one place.

Fast and easy install, great compatibility and software repos.

Related to AntiX, uses nicely customized Xfce desktop, still pretty light on system resources.

Great support on Facebook and forum.
